Nick Parker ([[Henry Thomas]]) is a struggling young artist suffering a mental and physical breakdown. When a violent murder happens in his apartment building, it pushes him to the edge of sanity. Suspected by his sister ([[Terri Hatcher]]) and tracked by a police detective ([[Bill Duke]]), Parker begins to think he may have committed the murder himself except for the appearance of a mysterious drifter ([[David O'Hara]]) who has moved in upstairs. Is he a witness or a murderer, and was it all a setup or illusion? The bottom line is: Who can you trust when you can no longer trust yourself? ==Reviews== * A.O. Scott in [[The New York Times]]: ''Pure Hitchcockian panic. An arresting example of what a talented filmmaker can do with the sparest of means.'' * Godfrey Cheshire in [[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]: ''An eerie, insinuating tale of urban dread and mental breakdown, [and] reps an impressively sophisticated solo directorial debut.'' * Dennis Lim in the [[Village Voice]]: ''With the director's impeccably chic expressionism and Henry Thomas's persuasive, dread-soaked performance, Fever sustains a convincingly spooky ambience throughout. Winter achieves a degree of technical polish rare among American independents.'' * Phil Hall, [[Film Threat]] ''Mediocre thriller about a starving artist suspected of murder.'' Official Selection, [[Cannes Film Festival]], [[1999]]. ==External links== * {{imdb title|id=0177769|title=Fever}} *[http://www.freekland.com/fever.htm Freekland: The Official Homepage of Alex Winter, Tom Stern and Tim Burns] *[http://www.fevermovie.com/ The Official Movie Site] *[http://www.alexwinter.com/ Alex Winter's Official Site] [[Category:1999 films]] [[Category:Mystery films]] [[Category:Psychological thriller films]]
